Bobby's on, tight version. Short - but you can hear hints of where Playin' will go in '72.

Mysterious movement from acoustic to electric inside this gem. Moves into a great Darkstar.

Lots of fun with solo after solo going in all kinds of directions.

A fun rare bit of Chuck Berry's often-overlooked influence on the Dead (and all of Rock and Roll, for that matter).

Proof that Pig and Keith went together like potatos and gravy. Pig's voice harp solo are just tops.

Like much of '73 this is what I call "hot mellow". Energetic but nicely spacey. Cool version.

Public Hall

Oh man, now that's a great Dark Star. Love when Phil just phases in around 12:00 (and again at 19:00) like you're abandoning gravity. That this kind of music was performed live is just too fucking cool for words, but hey, I like Seastones, too.

Any advice on versions without that glaring AUD patch at the end?
